Kalmesh Chaudhari, fire officer, said, “We recovered the body using a rope. Aadhaar card in a plastic bag found from the pocket of the trouser worn by the deceased helped us to identify him.”

Mahesh Bolkotgi, senior inspector, Shivajinagar Police Station, said, “The body has been sent for autopsy. Prima facie it seems that there is no foul play, and the man might have been swept away by overflowing water.”
